The Brady Medal

The Brady Medal is the highest award of The Micropalaeontological Society.

The Medal is given to scientists who have had a major influence on micropalaeontology by means of a substantial body of excellent research. The medal is primarily to recognise and reward scientific excellence; service to the scientific community may also be a factor for consideration.

The Brady Medal is named in honour of George Stewardson Brady (1832-1921) and Henry Bowman Brady (1835-1891) in recognition of their outstanding pioneering studies in Micropalaeontology and Natural History. Given acceptable nominations the Medal is to be awarded at least every two years.

The Medal is cast in bronze from original sculptures commissioned by The Micropalaeontological Society in 2007. The sculptor is Anthony Stones, a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and President (1999-2004) of The Society of Portrait Sculptors. The Medal is hand-crafted by the leading sculpture foundry Pangolin Editions of Chalford, England.

The award will be presented at the Micropalaeontology Society’s Annual General Meeting held in November each year. It is meant to serve as a substantive endorsement of the value of the recipient’s work made by their peers. The medal was commissioned and awarded for the first time in 2007 to Prof. John W. Murray.
